• Archivolt — A decorative element or prominent ornamental molding that frames and emphasizes the exterior face of an arch or a vault along its curvature. In classical, Romanesque, and Gothic architecture, the archivolt is often composed of several artistically carved concentric bands, serving the visual role of highlighting the opening of a portal or a monumental window.
